Wedding Party Gift Ideas (HELP!)

[JenelleJo]

I feel like I've been bursting with all sorts of ideas for my January Disney wedding, but I'm drawing a complete blank on this...any ideas?

What have others done for creative, cost-effective gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen? We have three girls and three guys (with my "maid/man of honer" being a guy).

The only idea I've had so far is a sort of travel kit that I would give them before we leave with perhaps some jewelry and other accessories, but even for that I don't know what I'd put in it.

Help!

We are still trying to figure out what to get our groomsmen, but for my bridesmaids, I ordered them beautiful necklaces on Etsy. I'll put a link to the lady's shop below. She makes some gorgeous stuff. Good luck! Hope this helps a little.

Not sure what you're looking to spend, or how large your bridal party is, but to keep in the Disney theme I plan on giving my girls a Disney Dooney & Bourke small purse or wristlet as a thank you. Not only are they in my wedding, but they are traveling to Florida from NJ, so they deserve a nice thank-you!

A lot of people help their bridesmaids with wedding related costs (ie BM dresses, hair, makeup, etc.) to offset the cost of travel. If I were a DFTW BM, that's what I'd want.

I gave our bridesmaids personalized, monogrammed robes to wear the morning of the wedding during hair/makeup and the jewelry they wore for the wedding. My husband gave the men sunglasses and their ties for the wedding/

while it isn't Disney themed, my DD is giving her bridesmaids and maid of honor Coach Wristlet's (from the Coach outlet ) They still haven't figured out what they are giving the groomsmen & best man yet. My DD's bridal party is already here in FL, she is the one traveling from Hawaii to FL to get married here. So she is trying to keep some costs down.

My bridesmaids were all big Disney fans, so I got each of them a personalized sketch of their favorite character from the Art of Disney. They were really big hits.

We had two bridesmaids (no maid of honor) and two best men (no groomsmen)-my two BFF's and my DH's brother and BFF.

I also ordered necklaces on Etsy for my bridesmaids-this girl had the exact style of my two BFF's/bridesmaids and she sent them in these gorgeous hand carved wooden boxes:

My bridesmaids wore their necklaces at my wedding.

For our two best men, we got them engraved pocket multi-tools from Things Remembered. The best men loved their gifts!

ONe of the thoughts that I am throwing around is getting them subscription type gifts. Like my MOH is a wine drinker, so I was thinking about getting one bottle of wine sent to her house for 4-6 months. Another bridesmaid really likes tea, so I was going to get new teas sent to her house. I am not sure about the guys yet, there are a few options for them, like beer of the month, or cheese of the month, cake of the month. You get the idea.

Personally, I love that my bff gave me a gift card for my favorite coffee shop. Unless you're specific about what you want your brides maids to wear, let them pick their accessories. IMHO bridal party gifts should be a thank you for being my friend and taking part in my wedding gift; not a here is what I want you to wear today. Think of maybe their favorite restaurant, store, coffee shop. Gift cards are fun, and you can pair it with a mug or walet.

I gave my MOH a Disney Princess clutch with her jewelry for the wedding inside. I gave my husband Mickey cufflinks (which made for super cute pictures), but it would make a great gift for your man-of-honor.
